Lee Westwood suffers major heartbreak again

Nottinghamshire golfer Lee Westwood has often been the bridesmaid at major championships, and it was no different at Muirfield as Phil Mickelson charged to victory with four birdies in his final six holes.

You felt it could have been different this time though, as the 40-year-old found himself two shots clear of the rest of the field at three under par with just 18 holes to go.

As the round begun and after a steady couple of pars, a nervy Westwood dropped a shot at the third.

After a superb birdie at the fifth, Westwood’s round began to unravel around the turn with two bogeys at holes seven and eight, which saw his overnight lead disappear.
